Stable Update

Here we go! This update includes everything from the beta, as well as a few last minute bug fixes and changes.

Changes:

Vineyards also turn into fields when they are used up now, just like farms.
Temporian is more effective in Brutal
You don't get tools when you start Brutal anymore
Tools are removed from counter when shared in multiplayer games
Added glass as a new recipe. This will open quite a few doors, I'm not sure I'm ready to go down
Added Telescope
Added Watchtower. This allows you to effectively duplicate natural resource cards, such as a forest, quarry, river, or even water.

Corrected the sawmill recipe, so it now allows you to actually research it
Changed labelling system, so you now right click a card
2 new methods of creating a press
Totally recreated the way in which cards are produced (This may lead to graphical glitches - Please let me know!)
Reduced the number of on screen sprites and text, which should help with frame rate
Changed the colour for living beings, so they're easier to spot
Corpses caused a problem on fast mode - Now resolved
The game will no longer move on to the Recipe Book until it has saved your game. This may have been causing an error on certain machines
You can now carry your Research Card onto a future game by feeding it to the Temporian

Butter can now be melted into oil
Cards spawned by the Temporian can no longer be used on the Temporian a second time (This includes the Research Book)
If the Research Card is destroyed or stored in the Temporian, you can no longer read it
Glitch effect added to Cards that have time travelled
Metal Ovens are added. Can be built from scratch, or upgrade a clay oven
Potatoes!!!
Greenhouses have been added, allowing you to grow vegetables and wheat in any season, and lasts forever
Cow and Pig "Corpses" have been changed to "Carcass"... so it doesn't sound so morbid
Watchtower has been changed to Tower. You can use the spyglass in combination with it to locate items
Can start fires using spyglasses and glass
Recipe book sorting has yet again been altered, sorting items into categories
When health is low on a worker (less than 21), the number will change to red
Workers with 10 or less health may cough when picked up, giving an additional indication that they are nearing the end of their life
End-game changed. You now need to:

The TO DO list has been updated accordingly

You weren't able to research Potatoes - Fixed
Sometimes, carrots were set as raw, rather than food - Fixed
Pie quantities have been reduced. A chef will now only make 1 more pie than any other cook

As mentioned, this new build extends the endgame slightly, meaning you will need to work more with metals.

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated!
